Regarding your comments on the Talk:Michael James Groom(Quoted herein as I have placed a speedy tag on the talk page as an orphan): ''Michael Groom is an up and coming British film writer with his first feature film about to be released. Dogging: A Love Story is also Simon Ellis' first feature length film, Simon Ellis is an award winning short film director, most notable for his film Soft. This is a perfectly reasonable article to be included in wikipedia, especially if Michael Groom the NZ footballer is allowed in! Why should this be deleted? ElGroomio (talk) 20:50, 22 October 2008 (UTC)'' Sorry to see your article was deleted. I did not see the original article, but I suspect the accepted criteria for notability of film makers was not met, whereas Michael Groom the NZ footballer does meet accepted notability criteria by virtue of having represented his country internationally at senior sports level. Perhaps once your film is released the situation changes. I don't know offhand what criteria is for sure, but Notability (people) may be a good place to start looking. Research the requirements and ensure you meet the criteria, write up a good article, communicate with an admin and once restored you can update the article clearly indicating your notability and providing reliable sources as verification-- Club Oranje Talk 08:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
